Talking Turbo Camaro vs 2012 Bugatti Veyron *Video inside*

So I beat a 2012 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport last month...


Now most people might chime in and say, well yeah maybe from a dig, but up at top speed he'd kill you. This race happened to be exactly 1 mile long, with both cars over 200mph

It was actually covered in this month's Car & Driver Magazine in their special "Speed Issue". They even tell a one of my favorite kill stories in the article!

So the bugatti reached 201.7mph, with me reaching 202.5 mph. The Car & Driver crew was pretty surprised

You can see me on page 58!







Here's a video of the run!

So have any of you guys ever run any supercars?

That bad ***, congrats man.

I think the shifts were like that to avoid excess spinning and having the *** end kick out?

Well, it's not for drag racing, it's for top speed.
